THE sister of three boys burned to death by serial killer Bruce Lee in the 1970s has spoken of her outrage after he was allowed out of a psychiatric unit.

Angeleena Shaw was furious to discover Lee had been seen in public for the first time since he was imprisoned in 1981 after killing 15 people in a six-year arson spree in Hull, East Yorks, that began when he was just 12 years old.

Bruce Lee went on an arson spree in Hull in the 1970s - killing 15 people including Angeleena Shaw's three brothers

Mrs Shaw, 52, will make an official complaint to the authorities after Lee, whose real name is Peter Dinsdale, was allowed out of the unit on escorted leave.

The arsonist, who changed his name by deed poll in honour of kung fu legend Bruce Lee, killed his victims by squirting paraffin through their front doors.

He would then set their homes on fire as they slept.

Mrs Shaw said: "If I saw him, I will be the one serving a sentence because he will not be standing.

"I have so much hate for that man.

"He has destroyed my life and he's still destroying it now."

Lee, now almost 56, was later cleared of the manslaughter of 11 elderly men in January 1977.

Since his conviction in 1981 Lee has been held in secure hospitals, and can only be released with permission from the Home Secretary.

Mrs Shaw, then Angeleena Hastie, was just 16 years old when her three younger brothers, Charles, 15, Paul, 12 and eight-year-old Peter were killed when Lee poured paraffin through the letterbox of their home in Hull.

By sheer luck, Angeleena herself was out babysitting for a friend and was not at home when the fire ripped through the house and killed her brothers.
